HIS GRACE! 🙌🏻 Praising Him today for undeserved mercy He continues to give me! A sweet friend gave me this sign and I have decided I need to write it on a notecard for my car. Everyday after school I have a car full of kids who have behaved like sweet kids all day long.…

His PEACE is BETTER than answers! This is the only picture I have left from a small Bible that went every where with me in my purse for 12 years. My heart was crushed two years ago when I left it on a flight and never was able to recover it. I just came across…

Who else needs help getting your family to eat more fruits and veggies?! This time I am sharing a snack time recipe. Our “lovers of all things sugar” kiddos were super hesitate about the color at first. Took some bribing not going to lie. BUT they all agreed it taste just as yummy as a…

“Kind words are like honey–sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.” Proverbs 16:24 BASEBALL MOM TIP OF THE DAY: Stop, pop and pray! You remember that saying from when you were little, “If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all?” When it’s one of those games and you’re struggling to…

“Devote yourself to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” Colossians 4:2 I shared Col. 4:2 with you on Sunday and talked about what the word devote meant. The next word that stood out to me was WATCHFUL in my studying. And my first thoughts were to assume this meant to wait in anticipation for God to hear…

WHITE CHILI Who loves a great crockpot recipe? This is one our family’s faves! It is SO simple and makes BUNCHES! You will have a fridge full and it only gets better each day. There are several different versions of this recipe, but I narrowed it down to the shortest ingredients list possible .. NO…

DEVOTE: Give ALL or a LARGE part of one’s TIME or resources. If you were to ask me yesterday if I was devoted to prayer I would’ve said with excitement, “YES!!!” But, before I shared this scripture with you I decided to dig into what the word DEVOTE really means. My balloon deflated just…

Eternity Above Now came from a season of my life that had me feeling overwhelmed with keeping up with expectations I put on myself. We had just had our third child and my hands were simply too full to keep up with the perfect little world I tried so hard to create. I’m not sure…

On the way to school our older two children take turns reading the scripture. Then we try to use it in our prayer. The neat thing about God’s Word is that you don’t have to know it all for Him to use it in your heart. And He loves when we use His Word to…

The countdown to baseball season has begun!! It’s no secret it’s my favorite time of year. I began this journey almost two decades ago as a wife learning to pray her way through her husband’s professional baseball career. I shared a few years ago how I learned to pray for Brian while he was still…

Happy 2018!!! I wanted to share with you the books I read last year that made the biggest impact. If you are anything like me you begin to abuse your Amazon account at the start of the year to create the new stack of books on your desk you are determined to get through. The…

At the young age of 20, I married Brian, the love of my life, who happened to be a professional baseball player. That may sound much lie a real life fairytale, but what many do not know is the road to the big leagues is nothing close to glamorous. The endless traveling and pressure to keep your job is hard to say the least, not to mention the small salary you earn during your minor league journey makes many have to walk away from their dream.

Whatever you do…. It was an easy decision for us to choose Colossians 3:23 for YPIP. It was the scripture my husband would write on a card and place it on the inside of his hat when he was playing pro-baseball. Before he would pitch in any game it would remind him WHO got…

I know it has been way too long since I have blogged. Trust me I have tried!!! If you have followed me from the start you already know that I have shared our journey from the beginning of my husband’s baseball career in the blogs. But I am now to present day in our journey…

Well I finally have Brian back home!!! And that means two things: I might actually have time to blog again and NFL football is on every TV in our house!! And I normally share my story through our crazy journey of baseball, but today I’m just sharing a thought that was too long for a…

My husband, Sean, was called up to the big leagues for the very first time in May 2009. We weren’t yet married but living together. Sean came from a religious upbringing, me, not so much. I always believed in God and Jesus, but that was the extent of my Christian life. Within the first week…

I am almost caught up with our journey to present day!! Today (in my opinion) I’m posting about the part of our journey where most of the biggest spiritual growth took place. It all started in Spring Training of 2009. My spiritual journey had hit a crossroads (yes another one and I am certain more…

I always use to say that I was completely at peace when it came to Brian’s career. I trusted the Lord would put him where He needed him. It was the only area of my life I had patience with because I knew how hard Brian worked towards his dream and I just trusted one…

This post will be featured next month on a really neat website that is designed to help wives with spouses in sports. So unlike my other post it is geared towards our baseball life, but I wanted to share it because the topic applies to anyone! And it’s a nice change because I had to…

Have you ever made a promise to yourself to start something new to better yourself or make a positive change in your life? You know what needs to be done and you are tired of making excuses why you can’t do it. But instead of jumping head first into this new adventure you search for the perfect way or time to start.
